360 has already reached it's peak, why do you think games are coming out sub-HD now?

The PS3's architecture is beginning to be understood, and developers have learned to use the SPE's but not to their full ability, we will enjoy better and better looking games for atleast another year before it's at it's peak.

PS3 > 360

Read my first post to understand why you are fundamentally incorrect.

As for sub-HD, neither of the two high-definition consoles are powerful enough to render high-physics, high-graphics games at 1080p with a fast, consistent frame-rate. It's an interesting paradox. If you believe Sony, you must have 1080p, 60FPS games in order to truly enjoy the next generation. The irony is, if you follow this advice you need to bypass the PS3 and go straight to an expensive gaming PC.

As for the last part, I think we will eventually see a very minor graphical advantage for some exclusive PS3 games over 360 ones. That said, due to it's more focused architecture, the 360 will have better AI in it's top games, which can be applied to gameplay while a little extra graphical sheen cannot.


As for 1080p/60fps, I point you towards GT5. Of course, this is the exception and not the rule, but it does exist.

As for gameplay vs graphics, the Cell has a hefty edge in physics, which can be applied to gameplay much like AI. And the ps3 only has trouble with AI if developers choose to use the SPUs for AI (IIRC, Naughty Dog did this with Uncharted, but Uncharted's AI was pretty good). However, the Cell should have no trouble handling normal, branching AI if the code is run on the PPU instead of the SPUs, as far as I am aware, and this is what GG is doing with Killzone 2.
